I joined the Navy to see the world and spent my entire service time enjoying San Diego. After my discharge I worked for Action Auto there before returning to Tucson. Back in Tucson I worked for a number of automobile repair shops including: Bill Breck Dodge. I then went to work for Sundt in Morenci as a heavy duty mechanic before I decided to try a hand at my own business and have been happily self-employed ever since. As my Father always said "Nine months of hurry and three months of worry." My first business was an auto repair and machine shop, and I have operated Ron's Fuel Injection for the last 14 years. We manufacturer technical fuel injectors or off-road race vehicles (circle track, drag, etc.). I had three children, two sons and a daughter. I lost my middle son, Ronnie, when he was sixteen in an accident. My son, David, works with me and my daughter, Christy, resides in Tucson. Following eight years of commuting to visit Carol Green, she moved back and we were married in 1999. We have nine grandchildren between us.
